Severe rash

If you notice that your little one’s diaper area has deep red raised bumps on the diaper area and cries in pain when peeing or pooping, this is probably a severe diaper rash.

Sudocrem is a mild antiseptic cream that relieves nappy rash and has a water-repellent base which acts as a protective barrier to stop urine and poop from irritating your baby’s skin.

Although it is recommended to apply a thin layer to the affected area, if your little one is suffering from a severe case of diaper rash, some mothers find that by using a liberal amount of Sudocrem on their baby’s irritated skin can help clear it up in no time.

Pros: Sudocrem can be used to treat other skin problems too such as eczema, sunburn, acne, bed sores, minor burns and more.

Cons: The cream is quite waxy and oily so it will require more thorough washing to get it cleaned off.
